POTD: Shadow Stepping

Shadow Stepping
Meteor Crater, Arizona
2022

I am likely one of the few people, maybe the only one, who has ever visited Arizona’s Meteor Crater site and took photos of shadows on the ground but none of the crater itself. It was an impressive crater, but at midday, in harsh light with no clouds, I could muster no enthusiasm for photographing it. It just came across as a big, boring hole in the ground (albeit one with quite an interesting backstory). Walking down the steps from a viewpoint though, I was quite attracted to the pattern of railing shadows on the steps.
